Emigrate to a country with a mild climate England is very good There you will recieve a free house, a weekly income from the State, a free health service, free education,child allowance and if England suffers a heat-wave you wil be able to afford to go home until the heat is off

I agree with all the above but have also found that allowing an ice cube or two to melt in the mouth helps quite bit too. You can keep a jug of the ice cubes by your side and occasionally place it against your wrists, which has a pleasant cooling effect.

Wear sunglasses indoors, smoke Gitanes, and call everyone "man". You will be cool in all weathers. Trainers are hip, but sandals are cool.
It also helps to play the double bass. I do.
